WHAT'S SLEEP, MEASURING IT Flashcards
what are some of the biological processes associated with sleep?
growth-hormones surge in sleep
flushing metabolic waste out of brain
brain plasticity for memories+learning
repair of daily injury/wear +tear
To conserve energy, all animals need the same amount of sleep T/F
FALSE - sleep duration is proportional to amount of activity/physiological demand
______sleep is for restoration and repair whereas ______ is used for memories + learning
NREM - in passive sleep,
REM - brain active state, actively creating stuff
TST _______each year
DECREASES
Rajaratnam et al., (2004) deprived pp’s of sleep, then allowed them to stay in bed upto 14 hours. What happened next?

7;9
The recommended TST for young adults, illness affected, sleep debt recoverers is______
9+ hours
A good measure of sleep adequacy is______
QUALITY of wake time
What are the 6 parameters PSG measure?
1) Sleep latency;
2) TST
3) sleep efficiency
4) awakenings
5) wake after sleep onset (WASO) = how LONG you were awake for
6) sleep stages
Actigraphy directly measures sleep
T/F
FALSE - looks at indirect measures i.e. movement, HR, light exposure
Subjective measures of sleep show________
sleep latency, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, awakenings, sleep quality, daytime sleep
Subjective and objective sleep measures have the same measures and outcomes
T/F
Measures ARE the same –> can tell you the same stuff, but OUTCOMES are different, may have normal PSG but report idiopathic insomnia
What do the following self-report questionnaires measure?
Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)
Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS)
Karolinska sleepiness scale (KSS)
PSQI - sleep quality, 19 items measured 0-3 where HIGHER scores = worse sleep. >5 = poor sleep
ESS - trait sleepiness/ day time sleepiness, how likely are you to fall asleep in ____situation, HIGHER SCORES = worse sleepiness, used for diagnosing narcolepsy
KSS - state sleepiness - reaction time
STOPBANG is used when __________
Screening for risk of obstructive sleep apnoea
Sleep stages are categorised into 2 cstates_________
REM / NREM
